• Configure XP mode to link automatically USB devices?

  Is it possible to configure XP mode to link automatically USB devices?

  This is a real nuisance to have to manually set a usb scanner to scan in to an application that does not work on win7 naitively.
  And it makes it impossible to deploy the application in a transparent mode, since the scanner is not attached if you try to run transparently without initiating 'Desktop' mode xp mode and manually attach the scanner first.

  Hi all - I have a solution that works, the only problem is the cost.  USB over network Fabulatech.com, share the USB device using the server component (in the windows box 7) and install the client in the Virtual Machine XP Mode and it will automatically connect at startup of the machine.

  If you need to share the USB device between the computer and the computer/application in XP Mode Windows 7, you can install the USB on the network client on the computer Windows 7 and settled on manual, in order to launch local applications with a CMD file that starts the network client USB key first before opening the application.  This way, the USB devices are available to any devices to connect to via USB on customer network.

• Boot from USB devices or local drives in VMWare

  I have a 4 Gb WinXP SP3 bootable USB Thumb Drive and wanted to try to boot into VMWare Workstation 7. I can add it to the readers of VMWare, and its listed connected between removable devices, when a virtual machine starts, but he won't start him, just goes straight to a CD ISO (if connected) or a network (which is not available) boot disk. In VMWare machine BIOS there is no option key USB Boot-Portable devices, and it is not listed among the drives in the BIOS. Despite I can boot from it on a real PC from USB HD. Which can be a problem and how to fix it?

• share/simultaneously control 1 two computers USB device

  Hello

  I am grateful for any idea about it.

  Our laser system has a digital frequency synthesizer which was controlled by A computer. Mainly, at runtime, machine-A fair 'hooks' to the frequency synthesizer and readings of her values and does not alter the properties of the synthesizer.

  Because manufacturing does sharing really not any what LabView to change, for example, the reference frequency, the synthesizer, we need to write our own labview for this program. We cannot use the same computer as the Moose software links already in the synthesizer connected by USB.

  Therefore, we think that we should get usb switch any to share this synthesizer with a different http://www.usbgear.com/USB-Sharing.html Ordinateur_B.

  My concern is that if this is possible. The USB device will be read at the same time Ordinateur_A and write to Ordinateur_B.

  All advice or recommendation will be great!

  Well, it's a simple question!

  Connect on demand for service support to add the features you want hope they have a good team.

  (Ouch that stinks).

• External hard disk appears as "VMware USB Device", cannot access Windows Explorer

  Hello, recently my external hard drive appears as "VMware USB Device" when I plug it in, and the drive appears in Windows Explorer as it used to. I have it plugged into another computer and I can access... what needs to be done for me to use this drive again? Thank you

  It appears in diskmanagement? -If yes - did assign a drive letter?

  We need to know what host and WS-version you use as the behavior has changed recently

• Do I need work station to modify USB devices? You can also VMware Player...

  That's what I would do:

  Install VMware Player on Windows 7 evaluation version

  I have to configure a modem USB (ISDN-telephone line)

  Can I add this USB device to my virtual guest later in VMware Player?

  I feel like the installation of VMware Workstation for just add this USB device installation. I have no experience of using VMware Player. I've always had of VMware Workstation to support me in everything I've done, that's why I ask.

  I can only imagine that maybe VMware Player will limit to deal with the addition of devices/units, but what is the truth?

  Peripheral USB themselves act as plug-and-play.  As long as you have configured the virtual computer to have a USB controller and have installed the drivers (via VMware Tools) in the comments, you can attach any USB device to the guest with workstation, player, server, Fusion, etc..

  Workstation already includes the UI player interface so that you can test your VMS how they will be displayed to users who have installed Player.  There should be a shortcut installed for it.  You can run your VM via player INTERFACE and to answer to your question here, I think.

• the difference between two same usb devices

  Say if I have two or more USB devices similar, how I programmatically differentiate them and gave them good alias?

  Using the defined digital inputs help to identify?

  Clement

  Your solution with two DI is a common method. BTW, the same method is used with motors on the fligth turbine, a connector of identification is chained to the turbine and controller boards can be replaced.

  I would write a little Subvi DAQmx task entry / exit and one (type def had) enum of entry for configuration, an output of true/false (maybe with an error on the error) and add it after each task to create.

  If the ID of the Setup fails, a message to exit or enter the automatic process of the alias.

• Some USB devices are more recognized when plugged after upgrading Fusion 7

  After reclassification of the merger of 6 to 7, some USB devices, specifically webcams is faster to connect to Windows (guest) or Host (osx).

  They also no longer appear in the USB & Bluetooth under the Virtual Machine settings.  Anyone else see this problem?  Try to understand this point, I completely uninstalled merger to try to solve this problem.  Webcams work fine under OSX itself and are usable.

  7 merger supports a virtual USB camera, that can be added as a new device in the virtual machine settings. This allows the physical camera (USB or integrated PCIe FaceTime HD) to share between the host and the VM at the same time.

  There is currently no option in the settings of the VM to UN-hide USB cameras for passthrough to the virtual machine, but it can be done with a preference.

  Edit the ~/Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/preferences file and add the following line:

  vusbcamera. PassThrough = 'TRUE '.

• Malware can be transmitted through any USB devices

  Hello

  Please excuse me if this is a silly question... I remember reading an article on the possibility of USB devices (such as keyboard, mouse, lamp) from malware if the QA on the device has not been made properly.  I know that it happens for USB drives, but I'm not totally convinced that he might happen to keyboard, mouse, switch KVM etc..

  I'll share my keyboard and mouse between two PCs using a KVM switch.  One of the PC is very old and I don't know if it's totally clean or not, so I just wanted to know if it is a good idea.

  Thank you very much.

  You cannot transfer malware using a keyboard or a USB mouse. You should feel comfortable using the KVM switch. However, if your old computer is on the same LAN as your new computer and file sharing / printing is enabled, make sure that both computers are clean in all cases.

• USB Device Driver Code 37 Init Failure

  I have a device driver kernel mode for a particular item of equipment that is installed as part of an .msi package. When the device is connected to a physical machine, the driver installs and is usable, and everything looks good in Device Manager. VMWare Workstation 6.0 or VMWare Fusion 8.1.0, however, the driver initialization fails; Device Manager the device with a caution on the badges and watch icon a device status of 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) ».

  I am aware of things that can cause this, such as a bad driver signed, but I've not seen elsewhere behave differently on a physical hardware compared to a virtual machine. I know that the USB port is listing the device, I can see the configuration of the device in USBView. A breakpoint set on the driver with WinDbg DriverEntry() function does not, and the driver does not see when the loaded modules are listed, so it does not appear that loading the device driver.

  I'm a little confused here. It is very reproducible on several systems running Windows 7 x 64 (I'll try for other operating systems as well to see if that makes a difference). I tried both USB 1.1 and 2.0 compatibility (the device is USB full speed). What a difference a virtual machine can make between the enumeration of devices and the device driver loading? Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  Dave

  Problem solved by my colleague, who is responsible for the installer. It turns out we were building our driver with KMDF 1.7 but specifying 1.9 in the file INF. building the driver with KMDF 1.9 fixed. There is some mystery here as to why he acted differently on a virtual machine on a physical computer, but for now we are just pleased to put the matter behind us.

• Problems with audio/video streaming with USB devices on zero clients

  Hello:
  We are using view 6.1.1 in our environment and problems getting audio/video streaming to work well with the USB headsets, with zero customers.  Helmets are Jabra Link 360 and customers zero Samsung NC241.  Helmets are used as well for the phones to Jabber and also as audio device by default.   We started with the audio driver Teradici and everything seemed to work well, except that users could not answer calls on the headset itself with the button on the headset.  They were able to answer the calls of Windows though and the part worked fine.  In order to get the physical button to work, we had to first fill the USB receiver they use on the zero clients so that Windows will see as the device Jabra 360 and not the audio device Teradici.  Then we had the EHCI USB mode on them as well, and after that he started to work very well.  However, the helmets also serve as the audio device main as well as the communication (phone) device, with audio streaming continuously throughout the day.  With the current configuration, audio streaming will cut in and out during the day, and audio/video is not always to stay in either phase.

  I also applied the registry in this KB hack, VMware KB: improvement in audio quality when you use speakers or USB headsets with a desktop VMware view Horizon 5.2 , which helped clear up Crackle that we originally with the part phone headsets.  But there is still the issue of streaming audio.

  I wonder if the effectiveness of the bridging USB is not as effective and also is there a way to make this work better?  I read that the use of the pilot Teradici is supposed to help with audio/video problems, but do not know how that can be applied to USB devices as we use.  I've been reading upward on Teradici audio/video settings, but do not know where to go from there.  I was hoping that there are some best practices to use USB headsets with a view, but so far I'm not finding anything useful.

  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  We were finally getting help by the people of Cisco after validation in the here and even open a support ticket with VMware, which was open for more than a month without will.  Where others try to implement similar, here are our findings:

  • Zero clients combine traffic USB and PCoIP.  It is not good when there is a lot of audio/video/USB traffic, especially the USB headsets that also carry audio softphone.  In our case, the USB traffic was so dense that it was causing audio and video become troubled and freeze and eventually cause the pcoip_server service to break in the virtual machine itself and cause the client disconnect.  The fix?  Don't use customers zero with USB phones software, they are not just designed for this type of solution.
  • Thin clients are much better designed for USB softphones.  In our case, we used the Cisco VXME client, which is the method of support for the use of Windows thin clients with the client of the Horizon.  There is integration between the two products that isolates the VOIP traffic out of the virtual machine and keeps it local on the client itself.  Regular audio and video traffic still go through the virtual machine using Teradici or VMware RTAV driver.

  Hope this helps others who may run this question.  One thing we did not try was a wired headset using the AV sockets on the zero client and Teradici audio driver.  This can work, but our needs here were the headphones must be bluetooth, so we were forced to stick with USB.

• Computer do not normally sleep wake up and the computer hang when external USB devices are connected

  Hello

  I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit desktop CyberPowerPC, and there are currently two problems with it:

  1.), I have two USB ports in the front of my case. I am connected to my computer. Then I tried to connect my external hard drive using the USB cable supplied with it, but just at the moment where the end of the USB cable touched the port, the screen is black and automatically rebooted and froze when the display shows the brand CPU that is before the login screen. I actually press the restart on my case button to restart the computer with the hard drive already plugged. Then everything should work normally.

  It's the same thing when I tried to connect my iTouch 2nd generation.

  This problem occurs sometimes, however, but I wonder if someone always has a solution to this?

  2.) whenever I put the computer to sleep and he remains asleep for a while and I turn it on it once again, powers for about 2 seconds then it turns off. I have to turn the power supply and light in the order so he could get out of mode 'sleep'.

  I was wondering if you have solutions to this problem, as well.

  Thank you.

  Original title: new Windows 7 problem

  Ok.. I'll try again...

  The problem is caused by a bad 'ground' between the USB ports of the case and the motherboard. Static electricity is originally the USB device to short on the USB port which is originally the motherboard restart mode.

  I had the same problem and got my computer case exchanged. The problem has not entirely disappeared, and I use the USB port on the front on the card reader, just in case.

  It can also be a problem with the power supply or even the motherboard. It is very difficult to locate the failure without replacing in turn, a process that happens to be a bit expensive.

  The above is the reason why I recommend that you contact the MANUFACTURER. Don't take no for an answer off the manufacturer or supplier. It is a problem annoying which can eventually damage your operating system if it is enough...
